Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance is an air ambulance service providing a Helicopter Emergency Medical Service to the counties of Warwickshire, Northamptonshire and the Milton Keynes area. We do not receive any government funding, and rely entirely on donations made by the general public. Our helicopters are literally lifted in the air by the kindness of people like you. Thank you. Rachel Billing has a ‘Clothing Bank’ located on her driveway into her home on Wrights Lane, Gayton. Your unwanted clothes, bags and shoes will help keep the Air Ambulance flying. Please drop off any unwanted items to the clothing bank.
**************************************************** Thank you seems a most mundane phrase to express how Paul and I feel after my final Eucharist service at St Mary's but it is the best I can do. We were quite overwhelmed at the 60+ people who came to share the service with us on Sunday 18 June, with special thanks to the amazing GFS ("Fields of gold" will always hold a special place in my heart!). We have had a wonderful 5 1/2 years with you but now it is time for us to move on to where we feel is where God is leading us in our ministry. Also, it is time we let someone else have a chance to win at quiz evenings!! Thank you and may God continue to bless Gayton village. Regards Marion Rev Marion Reynolds
GAYTON WALKERS There is still a nucleus of Gayton Walkers who meet on the 2nd Sunday of the month at Fiveways crossroads. It would be nice to have some new faces. We do get a few “outsiders” from Pattishall parish who join us as there isn't a walking group there. We don't rush and never go for more than 2 hours, usually ending at a pub to revive ourselves.
In March, we had a local walk and finished at The Eykyn Arms. In April, we were further afield at Ravensthorpe and stopped for lunch at The Chequers.

Gayton & Tiffield Community Minibus
With 11 volunteer drivers from Gayton and
Tiffield, reserves of £37,000 and record revenue
from Private Hire we are in great shape, but we
all need to ensure that our communities are
aware of the need to actually use the service.
This will ensure that we can continue to operate
to Northampton and Towcester on a regular
scheduled basis which provides us with the minibus which is a valuable community resource for
local clubs, schools, organisations as well as individuals.
Our thanks to everyone in our communities, our Parish Councils and of course especially to our
drivers and passengers for your help and support in keeping our village Minibus service going for
an amazing 33 years!
